Open Thread, 7/27: Padres vs Pirates and HOF Induction Day

Crackerjackdex2_tiny by Dex on

Jake Peavy takes the morning game today. At the same time, two of the more influential, but less memorialized former Padres enter the Hall of Fame today in the form of Goose Gossage and Dick Williams. Padres memories will once again abound at the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony this year. Dick Williams managed Goose while they were both with the Padres in the WS year of '84. Great USA Today article on the two.

Gossage, pitching for the San Diego Padres, was ordered by manager Dick Williams to intentionally walk Gibson in Game 5 of the World Series. The Tigers, leading 5-4 in the eighth inning, had runners on second and third when Gibson stepped to the plate. Gossage ignored the intentional walk sign, and when Williams came out, Gossage convinced him he could retire Gibson.

Two pitches later, Gibson homered into the right-field upper deck, giving the Tigers an 8-4 lead, sealing the Tigers' World Series title.

A Padres closer that couldn't seal the deal in a big game? A Padres manager that was ineffective in getting his players to perform? How things change. How they stay the same.

All kidding aside. Congratulations Goose and Dick! More Padres lore enters the Hall.

GO PADRES!!

You know what happens when Former Padres get inducted into the HOF

we score a ton of runs during their speeches.

by jbox on Jul 27, 2008 10:20 AM PDT   0 recs

I remember that

during Gwynn’s induction, was that a nine run first inning? ten runs?

by TheRevRun on Jul 27, 2008 7:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

No Giles today

Glad Ambres gets a start though

"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."

by The Kipper on Jul 27, 2008 10:43 AM PDT   0 recs

2 LOB

but at leat Maholm had to cough up 21 pitches for the inning. I guess this is supposed to be the staff ace.

It can be done

At the start of play today, Jake Peavy had the same batting average as Scott Hairston.

by I8EtoDunbar on Jul 27, 2008 11:09 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Pretty Amazing

that Hairston has 15 home runs and he has only been playing part time.

by jbox on Jul 27, 2008 11:13 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Seems like it takes him awhile to get going

But the second half of the season he mashes. Batting .365 this month

His glove isn’t half bad either.

Rough inning for Jake

29 pitches, gave up first hit and allowed a run

"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."

WHY

Why steal the pitcher for the final out? now he will be fatigued for the next inning.

by SDfaninAZ on Jul 27, 2008 11:51 AM PDT   0 recs

I think he did that on his own

Maddux totally tired himself out doing that.
Jake wanted a stolen base, too.

Jake

I am truly feeling sorry for the guy. He honestly believes that if he’s starting that day, he has to win the whole game by himself.

I hope this season doesn’t burn him out.

by I8EtoDunbar on Jul 27, 2008 11:53 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

The one man team

We need that kind of passion on our team. It gets everyone fired up to win, even when our season is in the sh*thouse

"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."

by The Kipper on Jul 27, 2008 12:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Doesnt make sense

Best case scenario is he is at 2nd. Even with a basehit, he is still going to have to run hard to score, making him even more tired. He has to conserve his energy.

by SDfaninAZ on Jul 27, 2008 11:54 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

maybe

Maybe he just got tired of watching his offense hit (or lack there of) and just wanted to pitch instead.

by SDfaninAZ on Jul 27, 2008 11:56 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He knows that aint got nuthin

after scoring all those runs yesterday.

That’s their MO.

That stupid little assclown

What did Jake do?

"We will never be the darlings of the chabliss and brie crowd who disdain us."

by The Kipper on Jul 27, 2008 12:16 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Menkawhatever(M) called time

Then, right in the middle of Jake’s windup, M called time AGAIN. M slowly gets back in box.

Then, Jake looked at him squarely and said “Are you ready now?” M took offense.

Josh got around in front of M between them.

The ump should have NOT stopped Jake in the middle of his windup.

So bush league.

Thank goodness Jake got out of the inning unscathed.
